FOOD LABELLING

Early day motion 77, tabled 23 November 2004 by James Paice (Conservative). Signed by 79 members.

That this House believes that British consumers are entitled to know exactly how and where the food they are eating is produced and that clear and unambiguous labelling stating the country of origin of the major ingredients is required to achieve this; and further believes that this will level the playing field for British farmers and enable British consumers to show their preference for home-grown food which is produced to high standards of animal welfare, health and safety and environmental protection.

Signatures by party: Conservative 60, Labour 7, Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 2, Labour/Co-operative 2, Independent Conservative 1, UUP 1.
